Why Choose Mec-Gar for Your 1911?
Proven OEM pedigree: Mec-Gar is known for tight tolerances and repeatable quality, reducing stoppages and improving feed reliability across varied ammo profiles.
Nickel-plated durability: The nickel exterior lowers friction for smoother loading and insertion, while helping to resist corrosion from sweat, humidity, and hard use.
Optimized geometry: Body, feed lips, and follower are engineered to present .45 ACP round-nose and many JHP bullet shapes consistently to the feed ramp.
Key Features & Advantages
Capacity: 11 rounds of .45 ACP in a Government-size footprint with an extended base for improved handling and positive seating.
Magazine Body: Precision-formed carbon steel for strength and dimensional stability under repeated drops and reload cycles.
Finish: Bright nickel plating for corrosion resistance and ultra-smooth insertion/ejection.
Follower: Anti-tilt polymer follower (style may vary by lot) promotes consistent feed angle and reliable last-round hold-open.
Spring: High-tensile music wire spring maintains long-term tension for dependable feeding—even after long range days.
Baseplate: Robust, low-profile base (extended style) for easier seating under a closed slide; compatible with common mag pouches.
Witness Holes: Quick round-count checks on the bench or between drills (pattern may vary by production).
Note: Component colors/shapes (follower/basepad) can vary slightly by batch without affecting function.
Performance You Can Feel
Smoother reloads: Nickel finish + tuned body geometry equals clean seating and confident drop-free ejection in most pistols.
Consistent feeding: Anti-tilt follower and strong spring give repeatable chambering across FMJ and many defensive JHP loads.
Reliable slide lock: Proper follower engagement supports positive last-round lock-back for faster, more instinctive reloads.
Compatibility
Fits: 1911 Government/Full-Size pistols chambered in .45 ACP (5" models and many compatible 4.25" Commanders that accept Government mags).
Will not fit: 1911 Officer/Compact frames or non-1911 .45 ACP pistols.

Always confirm magwell, mag catch, and grip panel clearance on custom builds or magwell funnels.
Compliance & Safety
Capacity laws: Check and follow local/state restrictions on magazine capacity before purchase, transport, or use.
Function test: After initial cleaning and loading, verify feeding and lock-back with your carry/defense ammunition.
Maintenance: Inspect feed lips, follower motion, and spring tension periodically; replace springs if performance diminishes.
Care & Maintenance Tips
Routine cleaning: Disassemble occasionally to remove carbon, grit, and unburnt powder.
Go light on lube: Excess oil attracts debris—wipe the nickel exterior dry; a very thin film inside is sufficient if needed.
Rotation practice: If kept loaded for defense, rotate magazines to preserve optimal spring life.
Drop test wisely: Train realistically, but inspect for dents or feed-lip damage after hard surface drops.
